Today is national Medical Assistants Recognition Day--it's also National Nut Day! Is there any correlation going on here? The receptionist at the doctor's office broke out in a big smile when I told her of today's recognition themes.

The doctor didn't seemed concerned that my GI procedure wasn't happening right away. He asked me a couple of questions regarding what was going on and prescribed another medication--Finasteride. He said that I should take it along with Flomax. He's trying to get my prostate to shrink and thus relieve my urinary issues. It's a slow and go approach which is fine by me.

He took a look at my ankles and lower legs regarding their propensity to swell and itch. He suggested an obvious solution--lay down or sit with my feet elevated. I thought of the yoga pose where I lay on the floor and extend my legs up the wall. The pose is good for the digestive track and restores balance in the circulatory system.

I stopped on the way back and had a really decadent breakfast--sliced cinnamon bun french toast with eggs and sausage. It was delicious but rich--I almost had to leave some on the plate (almost is what happened when a swallowed the last bite).

I've felt logy and sleepy today. I napped some this afternoon. My daughter talked to me about their upcoming trip to Disneyland. They will be leaving next Saturday and returning week later. I said I would deal with their dogs and fish while they are away--also the yard's watering regime.

Dance class tomorrow! Class begins at 3pm and goes for 1.5 hours. Keep on Moving!
